Outrageous nicknames for patreon users
@@captaineri.223truly truly truly outrageous
“Don’t make me let you down.” The writing in this show is so amazing
While he’s holding everyone up in the sky too, phew I love the double meaning!
*"Do not..."
Magneto is far too eloquent to resort to lazy contractions during such an impactful speech
Mmmm🙌 it's so good. SO much better than I ever expected it to be. Best X-Men content I think I've seen on TV or film. "Perfection"
@@alearnedman contractions are lazy???
@@MarisuSedaiThey can be for a character that expresses gravitas in every pore.
"Did you guys know this show was just hot fire?" Eric.
I mean, why do you think it won the poll hahaha
Still, though, I couldn't believe how good it was when I first watched it
what makes it crazier is that it´s just episode 2. they will lose it in 5.
@rapaz1997 I never expected a revival of a show I have no real attachment to, make me cry like a bay
That’s wild they needed a poll to watch this lol
Blind wave don’t give a F about the algorithm, they got patreon money
still does not get enough hype for how absolutely amazing it is! even echo was more watched despite it being astronomically lower in quality.
I love that Wolverine would rather fight Apocalypse then deal with a baby.
Mood
I'm really glad Eric correctly identified X-Cutioner's speech as 'Proud Boy shit'. I was so tired after this episode came out, seeing people claiming that he had a point or saying he was 'spitting facts' - and not even the obvious suspects.
I always appreciate how X-Men is so good at getting people to take off their masks to show their bigotry
Ya, a lot of fans can miss the very obvious point sometimes. It's kinda funny that it was one of the more on the nose speeches in terms of what it was trying to say, and people still managed to not understand
@@timothy1871 yeah, like me who just realized that Sandman explained to Peter that his daughter is sick, so it's okay for him to steal money, and Peter just gave him his blessing
funny just how easily minorities and allies can spot this kind of dialogue while others are completely oblivious to it
Remember during Falcon & Winter Soldier, when John Walker brutally murdered someone in public for a crime he didn't even commit -- and then a ton of people were praising him and saying he was right to do it?
Yeah... people are awful a lot of the time.
In the original series Wolverine has said that Morph was the only one that could make him laugh. They are really good friends.
“They were just Roommates”
I think from Wolverine's perspective they are great friends but I get the feeling, from this series especially, that Morph is in love with Wolverine.
@@the_nikster1 And honestly, i'd love that romance going somewhere but it doesnt even need to. Like Logan's crush on Jean but not even that prevalent. Just some character details that Morph may have a slight crush on Logan just to know where part of his stuff comes from
@@MellyMelon1331 agreed. 💯
@@wanderingnerdGavinthey are just friends. Weird comment.
This is some of the best writing for Magneto I’ve ever seen
For Prof X as well.
The best, bar none.
@@TimdeVisser86Sir Ian McKellen?
@@kingofdragons7 Best WRITING for Magneto. Ian McKellen elevated every piece of dialogue, but said dialogue was very much hit-or-miss.
@@KurganMacLeod i disagree
“And I assure you child, you shall never be afraid again.” I love Magneto’s lines in this show so much.
As someone who’s always appreciated but never loved marvel comics, holy shit Magneto is probably one of the coolest villians ever, and they did him perfectly.
Oh dear.
😶
They're getting there...3 more episodes.
"Hab keine angst" 😭
Storm striking the desert sands with lightning to make a glass tornado which ripped the sentinels apart was so awesome! And Magneto’s dialogue in this episode is some of the best ever written for him.
That was epic.
cyclops vs xcutioner is a really potent encapsulation of the minority struggles that x-men captures. cyclops is being beaten, spat on, and called petulant, all while *keeping his eyes closed, forced to protect x-cutioner*
Well said. Especially xcutioner's statement about "it's your whining, I hate your whining almost as much as I hate you." That's, unfortunately, how many bigots view the protest of minority struggle.
I loved the first episode but Magneto's speeches in this episode is what sold me on 97 as being more than fun nostalgia. This is peak X-Men.
Magneto's "do not make me let you down" speech STILL gives me goosebumps. Holy fuck, this series is incredible.
I forget who said it, but X-Men 97 sums it up pretty well:
“Venom became a hero over the years because of his fun power set and great design. Magneto became a hero because it became harder and harder to say he was wrong about the world.”
Agent venom's fight with the hi-jacker was awesome
Magneto in this show at least I think still falls into the anti villain category.
@@looming416absolutely. But the trajectory is there, and in recent years the Power of X and House of X runs really cemented him and Charles as united behind a shared mutant cause that’s an amalgamation of the two ideologies.
Fun fact regarding Magneto's helmet. It blocking Charles' telepathy was an invention of the 2000's movies, so at the time of the original cartoon it pretty much was just there to look cool.
Juggernaut does have a helmet that blocks telepathy though
Whoa,I never knew that! Really I always though that it was always that reason
Them retroactively justifying it to add to Magneto's character is so genius though
"Everyone has issues, but we're not complaining", that line was so obviously written by someone who knows what they're doing.
And the scene of the doctors denying some people access. In this case they have kind of a point since mutants have powers.
In real life they have no excuses.
Overall I like how they portray social issues threw the X-Man but sometimes it doesn’t work that well. Because like you said they have actual powers and make some of humans concerns relevant vs in the real world they wouldn’t be.
@@looming416Was shown even on the drive there that her telekinesis going haywire was a definite possibility, feel like they should have seen that coming.
@@collecter343 exactly they gave him a vailed reason for not being able to deliver the baby safely. That just a little sloppy on the writing side and wasn’t needed in my opinion
The first episode of X-Men 97 is a fun return with a cool cliffhanger. From the second episode onwards - it becomes the greatest X-Men adaptation ever.
Wolverine thinking Apocalypse was coming during Jean’s pregnancy is so him😂 & Magneto has some of the hardest lines so far & him battling with himself with Charles ideal was cool up in the atmosphere
Ready to throw down with an opponent he has no chance of beating. To only feeling defenseless during a birth.
To be fair to him, he wasn't actually wrong, just a season too early
I'm a life long X-Men fan, 30+ years. This show is the best adaptation of the X-Men in any medium. The writing in this show is thoughtful, heartfelt, profound, and highlights each character's personality and their dynamics amongst each other accurately. Like, this show is the closest thing to how the comics feel. The animation only gets better and the action sequences will exceed your expectations. You haven't seen anything yet, as far as the feats they display when it comes to showcasing their powers, the fight choreography, the team work. You guys are in for one of the best comic book adaptations ever.
Magneto's speech in this episode was incredible and it hasn't left my mind since the episode aired even 9 weeks later. X-Men 97 is Marvel TV at it's best!
Matthew Watterson has such an awesome voice! His performance as Magneto is simply superb.
Storm is never from Wakanda.
She is effectively a combo of Kenyan, New Yorker and Egyptian.
Her mother was a Kenyan princess who gave birth to her in Harlem, and when she was 6 months old she moved to Cairo, where she grew up.
As a teenager, she eventually goes to the southwestern edge of Kenya itself, where she's basically a princess, where she meets T'Challa.
In Kenya is where she first gets her powers, and she gets like adopted by a tribe and becomes their weather goddess.
And then Xavier finally comes along and recruits her.
Much much much much later she gets back together with T'Challa, who at that point is Black Panther and king of Wakanda, and they get married and she becomes queen of Wakanda.
I blame Reginald Hudson for wanting his Black Power Couple so much he overrode established characterisation… Also, the whole thing about Wakanda having the cure for cancer (among other things) but withholding it in what allegedly *isn’t* supposed to be hypocritical actions.
And people think the MCU *started* the problems in writing we most complain of… Pah.
@@borjankosarac3645true- but they sure did everything possible to exacerbate it.
@@franciscooctavius5957 Not gonna argue with that; they did some stuff better than the comics (especially when they took messy or just bad stories or story concepts and made better versions of them - see "Civil War"), but they've increasingly made bad choices in recent years.
And yes, a lot of things they were doing from early on were bad. Especially when they did them so often, so we couldn't view them in isolation (like setting up a villain and then killing them off anticlimactically in their second appearances - see Zola, Crossbones, Klaue, Strucker... they even almost did it with Mordo in DS: MoM as the script has the version from DS! being killed by Wanda!)
Now that's a power couple
10:38 the writing is so good Eric had to stop and sit back
I have never loved Magneto more as a character on screen than in this one episode of tv! He still is the same man we knew as the antagonist in the original series, but to honor the memory and legacy of Charles Xavier, he is trying to be a better version of himself.
It even reflects in his new uniform, it’s no longer armored or intimidating, a symbol that he is willing to change. Also I love that he is far more proactive than Charles was, by taking the Morlocks to the safe haven of Genosha rather than leave them in the sewers.
This may be the first time I've ever wanted you all to binge watch a series in one sitting.
If you thought this episode was 'Hot Fire', you're gonna be roasted alive for the rest of the season, sooner than you think
I think we can all agree, Magneto has the best lines all season
Gambit had a pretty good line. Then it ended.
Agreed, but I think he was kind of ruined in the finale, when he became evil Magneto, wanting to destroy humanity again
That time when someone said something like "We can't allow a lunatic to be a world leader" and he replies with "Yet you let a many world leaders to be a lunatic" is AWESOME
Magneto is an absolute HIGHLIGHT in an already fantastic show
Morph and Wolverine are friends since the 90´s version of the show, Logan is the most angry when he is killed by the sentinels
"you shall never be afraid again"
😀
Everything Magneto says in this episode is basically, "for everyone in the back who somehow still don't understand what X-Men stories are really about, let me spell it out for you."
They understand, they just choose to not know.
14:15 - “Did you guys know this show is just … Hot Fire!” - Eric
😊
Ya ain’t seen nothin’ yet! 😊
Magneto's speech gives me chills no matter how many times I hear it
Erick is so gonna cry at episode 5
Eric’s impression as Magneto saying “Never again” at 14:37 was actually incredible and really spot-on, he could totally be a voice actor.
I noticed that too, alongside his impression of "Who, Apocalypse?"
Jean saw Cyclops eyes when she was Phoenix. Phoenix’s powers could hold back Cyclops powers
Scott also loses his powers a couple of times on the og series, both times Jean being there.
I believe Jean can use a psychic block to stop Scott's blast. He can't control it because of a brain injury as a child
This show is easily Marvels best tv show, and up there as one of the best superhero projects of all time. Fucking perfect
I believe during the Phoenix arc, Jean used her powers to neutralize Scott's eye blasts.
the writing and voice acting for Magneto is phenomenal
A good way to think about which powers Morph can use is to compare him to Eraser from My Hero. If Eraser couldn't turn it off, Morph can use it and vice versa.
They aren't "lasers." They are "concussive blasts."
1:45 “Who put this together, Boeing?!” 🤣
Logan being totally ready to fight against apocalypse but being totally dumbfounded when he realises it's the baby is so....Logan.
One is scarier than the other
Magneto's little speech up in the Atmosphere reminded me of Samuel Jackson's speech in the Diner to Tim Roth. "I'm Trying Ringo, I'm Trying REAL HARD"
As high as the MCU reached at its peak, this series is the proof in the pudding why animation is the superior medium for comic book adaptations.
About Jean seeing Cyclops’s eyes, she hadnt seen them before the Dark Phoenix saga. She used her enhanced cognitive powers to briefly turn off Scott’s vision which allowed them to see each others eyes properly for the first time. And then they boned.
The dialogue just gets better and better and better each episode 😩
Magneto doesnt believe in Charles methods, but he believes in Charles
"Who put this together? Boeing?" Eric!! 😂 barely 2 minutes in and I'm laughing
God, after the finale im so ready to see these reactions. This is peak Marvel
Glad I’m not the only one who was shocked by how good the show is.
Magneto is top tier throughout the show anytime he talks 🤘 Can't wait to see your reactions for the rest of the show
fun fact there is a younger rogue comic where she has to absorb sniping skills from blackwidow cause her shooting arm is injured and she becomes a perfect marksman for a bit
In one comic, she actually gets complete control of her powers, and she is able to remember and use everyone's memories and powers shes ever touched. It was great.
Rogue's power is that she siphons life energy and memories from anyone she touches. In the case of mutants, she also gains their abilities for the same duration. That's literally her only power. But when she was a villain, she held onto Captain Marvel to the point she almost killed her, and permanently absorbed all her powers, and her memories. Thus her super strength, super durability, flight.
Morph's ability is hecking AWESOME. I never realized he doesn't just shapeshift into other forms, but also getting their physical mutant abilities.
The writing and performances on this show are levels above. They made Magneto incredibly compelling in this show. And RIGHT.
This series was absolutely phenomenal can’t wait for S2 can’t wait for that last episode reaction 🔥
Eric looked so enthralled
Magneto's speech still gives me chills. you boy's will hopefully love the rest of the series
Da nanana naaaa na na!
✍️🔥
"Who put this together, Boeing?" LOL!!! THANKS for this!!!!
This show is one of the best things Marvel has put to screen period. It turned out so damn good!
Magneto has the best lines!!
Morph should go by another moniker: Mister Cameo lol
This show really got me crying over Magneto like I haven't in years. The writing here is top notch, and it's obvious everyone involved truly loves these characters.
After watching the last episode and not to spoil nothing but seeing Wolverine say that particular line in this episode in hindsight he was right on point with that question IYKYK
I didn’t even catch that, great foreshadowing / writing
22:00 They address this later in the show, but Jean is strong enough that she can block his optic blasts and see his eyes.
This show is so amazing and perfect , can’t wait to watch y’all react to each episode !
Every line of Magneto blew me away. And I was genuinely shocked when Storm got hit.
"Who put this together, Boeing?" was so out of pocket, I love Eric LMAO
The writing in this show alone let's you know it's for the kids who grew up with this series, it's not holding our hands but it's rewarding us for waiting for its return.
Whose watching this after the finale? Y'all are in for some straight fire. This show and season as a whole has made me feel more excited about future animated shows they will be doing and did not disappoint. Not one episode was ever even just okay. It was all fantastic in my opinion.
So glad yall are finally checking the show out. This is the best show of the year thus far, imo. I've finished it. Which says alot since, I watched/covered Shogun, The Bad Batch S3 and Fallout. Yall ain't ready for what's coming. The dialogue is gona get better and better!!!
The first of many amazing Magneto speeches.
Magneto's lines are amazing in this episode :)
Loving the reactions
Storm is actually American. Her parents were diplomats or some such and they and Ororo were in Africa when her parents tragiclly died. I believe there was an earthquake and the hotel they were staying in collapsed. Ororo was trapped in the rubble for days and that's were she got her paralyzing claustrophobia. She was rescued and ended up a homeless street urchin making by on pickpocketing tourists. One fellow she tried picking his wallet happend to be Xavier. Of course it's impossible to pick a telepaths pocket. So he froze her mind and seen she was gifted. He let her go but kept track of her and when she got older and he needed a new team of X-MEN he asked her to join him and the team.
This show is honestly amazing. Soooo good. This show got me back into marvel and heavy into X Men
In the OG series during the Dark Phoenix saga, Jean was strong enough to hold back Scott's beams, they had a scene where Jean stopped the beams bc she wanted to look into Scott's eyes
eric enjoying this show so much makes me so happy and they haven't seen ep5 & the second half yet!!
p.s. i know they technically already have i mean the yt reactions (:
After everything that is the MCU, it’s so good to have something from Marvel that actually takes itself seriously and doesn’t constantly make fun of the concept of superheroes. The grand moments aren’t cut short with a joke, imposing characters aren’t made fun of for being too serious or lame, the writing is actually good.
Rogue absorbs [everything] from an individual: memories, knowledge, etc. She just happens to also pick up powers if the individual innately has them. There are some great moments of her using this in the field in other media (X-men Evolution, Wolverine & The X-men)
Magneto is arguably the best character in this show
I'm so excited for this show, this is genuinely such a phenomenal show
Magneto's costume was 80's-tastic (When he wore it, for, like a whole 10 issues before he changes it again)
Season’s done and ngl it feels good to watch reactions to a simpler time in X-Men ‘97 😅
Yoo...Magneto is so fucking cool. He's like a wizard. And he also has a point about mutants vs humans
Already ROFLMAO at "Who put this together, Boeing?"
Yall are in for a riddddddeeeee
The story lines of this series are singular talent on display. In addition to the visuals which literally place you directly in the comic book. Keep watching you will be amazed. Storms story line is one of the best ever written. And if a cartoon depiction could ever be hotter than Haley Berry, they’ve achieved it lol. So many huge moments in the comics are covered in this 10 ep series you will be blown away.
Well, Jean has blue eyes (in the show anyway), and the baby has brown eyes. So by deduction, he has Scott's eyes.
This is one of Marvel's best projects to date. It's so good.
I love that this show does what many others have tried and failed to do and that's make me legitimately want the "bad guy" to win
This show is fantastic, it manages to hit similar story beats as the original while elevating them to some much more adult themes. But the stand out is absolutely Magnito.
Pretty much every character is elevated and given great lines or moments, but Magnito is on another level.
Damn, NO reaction to magneto's speech at the UN?? that was one of the best parts of the episode
I WANT MORE OF THE REACTIONS WHY MUST YOU MAKE ME WAIT 😩
21:40 *Aaron:* _"Has Jean seen Cyclops's eyes?"_ Yes. There is a scene in _X-Men The Last Stand_ where she tells him to open his eyes and that she can hold back the power completely.
Now that scene was essentially lifted directly from the comics, shortly after the *Phoenix* power is starting to manifest itself. *Scott* and *Jean* are at Warren Worthington's (Angel) compound/getaway in the desert. They're having a picnic on top of a plateau when this occurs. In *Scott's* thought bubble, he's kinda freaked out at the power required to hold back his optic blasts, and she's not breaking a sweat.
I think they should have played out the Phoenix Saga over the course of 3 films.
We need these reactions videos for the next episodes of this show out more frequently it’s too long of a wait in between 😅I need to see your reaction to the rest asap
Finally. FINALLY! I have waited so long for you to pick up this show. Yes its only taken you 8 weeks. but god damn it. It is refreshing to see people do Reaction who dont know all comic storylines but are also observant thorough enough to catch so many things. Like I m sure every other of the 8 reactors I saw instantly knew what the Jean moment meant. I didnt.
This is where the fun begins!!!! 🙏🏽💪
The writing on this show is goddamn Shakespeare.
Aaron is going to love episode 3
